A very good form with deeply divided leaves. With age it will have a mound-like habit to it. The leaves start red and gradually change to an attractive greenish-bronze that colour well in the autumn. Does best with shelter from the wind and good drainage. Makes an excellent pot plant for the patio. Will get to 2m (6') in 10 years.
